I checked it out & felt it was too costly for me. The selling point of reducing scrap didn't apply for me. The other selling point of saving time really only applies if you don't include going to the bender, setup, teardown, etc. It also looked like it wouldn't do short pieces. After looking at the video I thought it would be better for machine production where you could do 20+ of the same bends at a time. For my commercial work, I run about 1000' of pipe & have about 10' of scrap...all shorts, not mis-bent offsets. The figuring for spring-back as a percentage put me off, as well as its weight (over 100 lbs. as I recall...not something I'd throw in my pickup regularly).
